Replacement windows for a flip

[Zack Karp]

What is the cheapest way to go?  Looking at vinyl single-hung.  Is it cheaper to go through a company like Champion or Feldco with an installed price, or overall cheaper to buy them at Home Depot and have your contractor install them?

@Zack Karp - unless this is a low end flip or for a rental property, look at double hung. I found more people prefer double hung and the price isn't that much more.

Also, I found buying direct from Lowes & Home Depot generally got me better pricing. Snag a 10% off coupon from Ebay for Lowes to save a bit more money. Not sure on contractors in your area, but I could get them installed really cheap in NC, like $ 30-40 bucks a window if it is a simple replacement (no extra framing or trim work needed).
